[377] Of a doggier underdog
[377] Of a doggier underdog
It was a total heartbreak to see Portugal advances to the Final at the expense of de Oranje. A newly born golden generation of Oranje succumbed to a fading great Portuguese generation. However, the worst disaster is still the loss to the Czech Republic. De Oranje fans may argue who the blame is due to but I believe, all of us will agree that it is the worst disaster for de Oranje in Euro 2004 nonetheless.
And then, the unexpected happened. The home of a once great Greek empire beat the new favorite of the tournament, the Czech in the Semifinal. Before everything went astray, the biggest surprise was seeing the Greek making through pass the group stage with Spain as a sacrifice to Zeus.
And then, it was seeing the Greek at the Semifinal.
And then, it was seeing the Greek in the Final.
Now the Greek, a total outsider, stormed Lisbon and there they are, currently leading the conqueror of de Oranje, the host of the tournament, by one goal.
Of all teams, it is the Greek!
Who would have thought this is possible?
How is this possible?
Even Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is easier to comprehend.
Reality is certainly weirder than fiction. I thought the last World Cup was crazy but at least, in the very end, order was restored. God must have slipped into slumber for a few moments
But now, God must be sleeping throughout the tournament!
I pray to God, let sanity reinstate itself. Enough madness. Enough lunacy. This is too much for the real world.
I pray to God, Montserrat, currently taking the last place in FIFA’s ranking, would not make it to the 2006 World Cup Finals in Germany.
Mercy I say. My sanity is almost gone. Mercy milord before my sanity is blown apart.
God, awake thy must!
But all is too late. It is already the fifth minute of the stoppage time. Greek, as they had in history, is victorious.
In any case, this is the most catchiest football (yes, again, it is football, not soccer) related phrase, "Ancient Greece had 12 gods, modern Greece has 11". Allow me to rephrase that. Ancient Greece had 12 gods, modern Greece has 11 llamas. Maybe minus Nikos Machlas because he was an Ajacied.
1. The final whistle has been blown. I read the stats and I could only feel dismay. This is an injustice.
2. The Greek is more italier than the Italian. Unbelievable how the statistic shows great domination by the Iberian and yet, the statistic does not conform with the result. Therefore, I am adding a new team to my hate list. Greece, say hi to Italy (all Italian teams included), Manchester United and Selangor.
p/s – it is fourth of July. Happy birthday to the idealists of freedom and liberty. Sadly reality does not seem to reflect ideal. Nevertheless, to liberty and freedom.
